ROLL OVER CRASH ON WASHINGTON

Elyria – If you’re a “glass half full” kind of person I suppose you could say at least Nancy Bennett had a couple weeks to enjoy her brand new 2010 White Honda Accord before it was crashed into early Friday morning.

Police say that 31 year old Angela Straka of Elyria was traveling south on Washington Ave just after 2 a.m. Friday morning when she “failed to maintain reasonable control” and struck Bennett’s car that was parked on the street in front of 234 Washington Ave. The impact pushed Bennett’s car ahead 30 feet and caused Straka’s Focus to roll over onto its side.

Elyria Police patrolling in the area heard the collision and responded to the scene immediately. Officers were able to assist Straka in getting out of the car.

LifeCare Paramedics spoke with Straka but she refused any treatment or transport.

Straka was charged with Failure to Maintain Reasonable Control. Police believe that alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash.
